The decoration of a home is about creating a space where aesthetics and functionality go hand in hand. A central element in many living rooms is the coffee table, which can serve as both a practical surface and a stylish focal point. At Noyer, we have a passion for combining design and quality in our coffee tables, which we will explore further in this guide. Here are some important aspects to consider when decorating with a coffee table.
Choose the Right Coffee Table
- Size and Proportions: Start by measuring the space in front of your sofa to determine the ideal size for your coffee table. A coffee table should generally be about two-thirds the length of the sofa. Ensure there is enough space to move freely around the table, typically 45-60 cm from the edge of the sofa to the table. At Noyer, we offer coffee tables made to your desired measurements.
-
Shape: The shape of your coffee table should complement the layout of your living room. Rectangular or oval tables work well in elongated rooms, while square or round tables are ideal for smaller or more square spaces. Round tables can also soften sharp lines and create a more fluid look.
-
Height: The height of your coffee table is also important. Generally, it should be at the same height as the sofa seat or slightly lower to achieve a comfortable and functional setup.
Material Choices
-
Wood: Wood is a popular choice as it adds warmth and natural beauty to the room. At Noyer, we offer walnut coffee tables that exude quality and timeless design. Wooden tables can be adapted to various styles, from rustic to modern, depending on the finish and details.
-
Glass: Glass tables provide a lighter and more sophisticated look. They are ideal for smaller spaces as they do not occupy visual space. Choose tempered glass for extra durability.
-
Metal: Coffee tables in metal can add an industrial or modern touch. Materials such as steel or brass are durable and can create a contrast with softer furniture in the room.
-
Combinations: A combination of materials, such as wood and metal or glass and wood, can give your coffee table a unique expression and add depth to your decor.
Functionality
Beyond appearance, your coffee table should also be practical. Consider the following functional aspects:
-
Storage: Coffee tables with built-in storage, such as drawers or shelves, can help keep the living room organized. This is ideal for small spaces where every square centimeter counts.
-
Usage: Think about how you will use the coffee table. Will it primarily be used for storing books and magazines, serving coffee, or perhaps as a place for decorative items?
Decorating the Coffee Table
Once you have chosen the right coffee table, it’s time to decorate it. Here are some tips for creating a beautiful and functional table setup:
-
Layering: Combine different objects in various heights and textures. A beautiful vase, a decorative bowl, and some books can create an interesting dynamic.
-
Personal Elements: Add personal items such as souvenirs from travels, family photos, or handmade objects. These can give your coffee table a personal touch and make it a conversation starter.
-
Greenery: Plants and flowers can bring life to your table setup. Small plants like succulents or a bouquet of fresh flowers can add color and vibrancy.
-
Lighting: Use candles or a small lamp to create a cozy atmosphere. This can be especially effective in the evening and give the room a warm glow.
